	Dear All Hello Passion Sunday is the name given to the fifth Sunday of Lent in pre-1960 General Roman Calendar. In 1969 Pope Paul VI removed the distinction between Passiontide and the general season of Lent, giving Palm Sunday the official full name of "Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord" (Dominica in Palmis de Passione Domini) and making what had been the First Sunday in Passiontide simply the Fifth Sunday in Lent. Passion Sunday marks the start of a two-week sub-season often referred to as Passiontide. The historical readings for this day are Genesis 12:1-3, Hebrews 9:11-15, John 8:46-59, and Psalm 43. I Corinthians 1:21-31 and Matthew 26:17-29 are alternate readings. If you are going to a service then travel safely. Take care Very best wishes xx
